Moisturize your mug

Sep 25, 2007 | Filed in Life | 9 Comments

Some of the best advice my Mother ever gave me was to moisturize daily. What gay man doesn’t agree with that?

For the longest time, I was doing it all wrong. You see, I was cursed blessed with oily skin, which is good at keeping away wrinkles, but bad if you plan to leave the house. So I used very harsh products on it to dry it up as much as possible, and was often scrubbing it. Above all, I avoided moisturizers of any kind, as I thought they would produce more oil.

Wrong.

Actually, the more you scrub your face, the more it goes into panic mode and produces oil. So I was actually making my skin shinier by torturing it.

I finally got it right and have started using a moisturizer nightly. It’s slowly recovering now and looking better.

I’ve been using Olay’s Age Defying Anti-Wrinkle Replenishing Night Cream. It smells good, is just the right consistency, and does the job. It’s pretty affordable too. I got it on sale for $12.

What do you use to keep your mug moisturized?
